Admin post: Community Check in for May 2018

[mific]

It's just slightly after the last day of May, oops (Goss has neen super-busy and I didn’t notice, sorry). But it’s never too late, so we'd love to have you check in and chat with us.

How have things been with you this past month? Did you sign up for or take part in any fandom activities in May, or have you been working on any personal art projects? Are you currently trying to meet a deadline? Feel free to share upcoming challenges that have got you excited, any frustrations you've been experiencing, possible goals for the next month, and so on.

I have signed up for marvel_bang and just yesterday claimed two fics for the wipbigbang (one Due South and one (hopefully) Grimm) though I don't have confirmation for the latter yet. For my ongoing big ds_c6d_bigbang project I started a work log so I'd remember what I still have to do and have some accountability. Two entries so far. I am working on some colour mini sketches to decide which palette to use in the big piece (a trick I learned here from jainas). So far I'm not satisfied with my choices. Will have to experiment more. I'm doing these on a postcard-sized watercolour pad.

Finally finished watching the amazing Canadian show Slings&Arrows and promptly did a tiny picspam, sketches and some graphics.

There was one piece of original art when I was feeling down due to some family drama.

Then I did two last minute entries to the Mermay challenge with my newly arrived Scrawlrbox supplies: Mermay Geoffrey (from teh aforementioned Slings&Arrows) and a Due South Mer-AU Mer Ray and Fraser

You're going to be busy! Good idea to have a plan of attack for the dS_C6d Big Bang - I must do something like that. I claimed a couple of WIP BB ones as well.

My plan of attack will hopefully work! Originally I intended to reserve the whole summer just for dsc6d but then the other fic descriptions were too hard to resist, especially since one of them was Due South as well. ;-)

you are a pillar of fandom!

*blushes* thank you. I wouldn‘t go that far but I am happy I have shed my lurker status at last!

[goss]

Your enthusiasm for art is inspiring. Go you! *high-fives*

[mekare]

Thank you! Drawesome has lit the spark in a big way :-)

[jainas]

Wow, so many drawings (and so many bangs ^^)! Your productivity is really inspiring!
and I'm happy that my mini sketches were useful to you! :)

Thank you! I hope you get to finish that railway illustration, it looked really good in your post.
